Grove Street Cabernet 2001

Here is a fairly priced bottle of decent cabernet. Here are my tasting notes:

Grove Street, Alexander Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2001 $17 Deep dark purple. Taste of plums and black currant with a nice oakiness. Tannins are smooth and not overpowering. 90

It's already better than it was when I first got it a few months ago. It night not stand up for the next 20 years, but who wants to cellar a wine for that long, anyway? I bought a case because I think that as the tannins smooth out over time the fruit will just get better. If you can find some, you might want to pick some up.
